Another new unofficial patch is now available for Vampire: The Masquerade -
Bloodlines, updating the Source-engine RPG from now -defunct Troika Games to
version 2.0. Once again, this update is unsupported (as is the game this point),
but it offers dialog updates as well as more bug fixes. The download is
available from
3D Downloads, 3D
Gamers,
Boomtown (registration required), Gameguru Mania,
VGPro, and
Worthplaying.

I also played through this game before any patches were released. I only had minor problems (which were easily solved in-game) and it never crashed on me. The recent unofficial patches have helped the, sometimes, uneven gameplay.

Playing as a Malkavian is quite entertaining but even this doesn't help the sadly "hit-run-repeat" ending of the game.
